That’s right, not only does the absurd yellow footwear exist, but it was revealed by artist Tommy Cash during Paris Fashion Week, at luxury designer Rick Owens’ show no less.

The surreal new shoe combines the Big Red Boot’s boggling charm with Crocs’ Classic clog chunk, in a bright yellow hue, making it a definite conversation-starter any where you go.

When the Big Red Boot first went live, celebrities immediately endorsed it, with everyone from DJ Diplo to WWE Superstar Seth Rollins rocking the Astroboy-inspired footwear.

The yellow boot was given no release date, price or official details, but knowing the absurdity MSCHF usually approach things with, it may go live sooner than you think.

Would you buy it?

Robert Abela “Immensely Satisfied” With Abortion Law Changes

Jun 24 2023 Share

In a recent video posted to Robert Abela social media, the Prime Minister expressed how “immensely satisfied” he is with the historic legislative developments made in the past hours.

Abela said that the decisions made in light of Bill 28 confirm the government’s courage, who according to Abela, called for change from the beginning of the debate on abortion in Malta.

Ahead of a committee-level discussion amongst MPs and parliamentary vote, the government moved forward proposals which will allow access to abortion under a number of conditions if the woman’s health is at grave risk. Conditions include approval from three separate doctors, consultants or specialists, with a cut-off period yet to be confirmed.

Abela went on to express sorrow in the fact that the Opposition was “on the other end of the spectrum”, insisting that there was no need for a legislative amendment because “the comfort of the status quo, as always, satisfied them.”

Whether or not further changes to the abortion bill will be made, Abela stated that he thinks that society is ready to accept change and he will leave it in the hands of the people to discuss such a matter.

What do you make of this?

Abortion Will Be Permitted If A Woman’s Life Is At Immediate Risk Or Health Is In “Grave Jeopardy” 

Jun 23 2023 Share

Health Minister Chris Fearne has announced significant changes to Malta’s controversial abortion bill, clarifying the circumstances under which abortions will be allowed.

The amendments aim to address concerns raised by anti-abortion campaigners, the church, and the Nationalist Party.

The proposed changes include the following key points:

  1. Termination Criteria: Abortion will be permitted if a woman’s life is at immediate risk or if her health is in “grave jeopardy,” which may lead to her death.
  2. Exhaustion of Treatment Options: Terminations can only take place once all other treatments have been exhausted. The aim is to ensure that abortion is considered as a last resort when there are no other viable options.
  3. Specialist Decision: The decision to terminate a pregnancy must be made by three specialists. This ensures a careful and thorough assessment of the situation by medical professionals.
  4. Licensed Clinics: Abortions can only be performed in licensed clinics, addressing concerns about the possibility of unregulated practices.
  5. Viability of the Fetus: The amendments clarify that if the fetus is deemed capable of living outside the womb, the pregnancy should not be terminated. This provision aims to protect the rights of the unborn child in cases where it is considered viable.

Minister Fearne stated that the amendments introduce additional safeguards while allowing doctors the necessary discretion in emergency situations where a mother’s life is at immediate risk. 

The amendments pertain solely to cases where a woman’s life is at risk or her health is in grave jeopardy.

Abortion will remain illegal under all other circumstances, including cases of rape, incest, and severe fetal abnormalities.

The proposed changes will now be subject to further scrutiny and discussion before they can be implemented.

The president of Malta, George Vella, will need to review and sign off on the eventual law.
